Joe Buck is an old pal of ours, so I must express some alarm at his current approach to facial grooming. It appears to be having a significant and negative effect on his colleagues, as seen before yesterday's Broncos-49ers game in Denver. The power of Joe Buck's protobeard has put Terry Bradshaw to sleep while clearly serving as an intoxicant for Troy Aikman.

Can we allow this to become a full beard upon Joe Buck's face? What horrors may it unleash upon the world were that to become so? I shudder at the thought.
